[Choose #1] My wife and kids in my backyard pool less than 6’ deep. They did great & I even taught them how to clear/remove/replace their mask which made them much more confident & relaxed on a snorkeling trip out to a reef in the keys.
|
|
|
[Choose #2] Irresponsible in open water.
|
|
|
[Choose #1] Maybe in a non-moving confined water way just a few feet under the surface but only after taking them under in a pool.
|
|
|
[Choose #1] that was what sold me on diving.
|
|
|
[Choose #1] Only in a swimming pool, just to try it out!!
|
|
|
[Choose #2] These are designed for emergency OOA situations. It is dangerous to let someone, especially a non-certified swimmer, do this because an embolism could result, and it provides a bad example for others that may think it is fun without risk.
|
|
|
[Choose #2] Way to many things can go wrong. Not going too happen.
|
|
|
[Choose #2] Not worth the risk
|
|
|
[Choose #2] I haven’t but wouldn’t see a problem with a trained diver allowing someone breath through an OCT in 4’ pool. If you can’t trust someone to do that, then don’t let them snorkel either. Just saying.

[Choose #2] # 2, no ways, and will never try to do that.... crazy..!!
|
|
|
|
|
[Choose #2] The diving law does not allow WASNT AWARE or DID NOT DO IT ON PURPOSE or JUST WANTED TO PLEASE HIM/ HER. Every instructor and Dm is responsible for his act and liable to terms of imprisonment, fine and civil damages to cause good to the damaged party
|
|
|
[Choose #2] would be fun in a pool, but, nope i have never.
|
|
|
[Choose #2] 3 foot below is enough to kill any idiot
|
|
|
[Choose #2] Not something I would want to do except at a very shallow depth, 15 ft or less. Do you get a girl like that if you do?
|
|
|
[Choose #1] in our pool. then they got the itch and went and got certfied to scuba dive.
|
|
|
[Choose #1] Only in our 4ft deep pool
|
|
|
[Choose #2] NO.. This is why PADI has the DSD program so such a thing can be done properly and safely. You can still kill someone if 4 feet of water.
|
|
|
[Choose #1] Only in our pool in 4ft of water.
|
|
|
[Choose #1] Only in a pool to demo scuba gear for kids.

[Choose #1] Yes, even my grandson at age of 4, but he was swimmer when 3 and knew to continue breathing, only to 3-4’, he now thinks he is a scuba diver.
|
|
|
[Choose #2] There was always a tank and regulator in the bottom of our 4ft pool when the kids where small. They would drag the tank along the bottom for years. But NO would be my answer to your question.
|
|
|
[Choose #2] Never have and never would. It’d be Sod’s law that this would be the dive with equipment failure
|

[Choose #1] My (now) Dive Buddy, in my pool at about 9ft. This is how I got him into diving in the first place, no issues whatsoever.
|
|
|
[Choose #1] My son in the pool down to 8 feet
|
|
|
[Choose #1] My son (Jr. cert) and I toured the lake (12’) on one tank. I have a 7’ hose. Once while free diving I took a breath from a diver at 30’
|
|
|
[Choose #2] Not yet, but I would not be against the idea in a controlled, closed, and shallow environment.
|
|
|
[Choose #1] I took my niece and a friend in my parents’ pool (in the shallow end) just to see if she was interested in getting certified. We didn’t even "swim" just dropped below the surface and let her breathe.
|
|
|
[Choose #1] My daughter and my wife in the pool. It actually was the factor that sold my wife to get certified.
|
|
|
[Choose #1] I’ve taken my boys no deeper then their shoulder height.
|
|
|
[Choose #1] Only in the pool in water not too deep to stand.
|
|
|
[Choose #1] Basically the same as Greg. My son and went down about 12 feet.
|
|
|

[Choose #1] I have taken my two sons underwater this way before. Our max depth was 15 feet and we didnt have any problems. They were taught NOT to hold their breath. They were also certified divers already.
